I decided to visit a bar with live music up London. The reason for this was because my friend Alex was performing there and her friends band was as well. The place i went to in question was situated a short walk from Old Street Underground Station. The place i went to was called “The Underbelly” and was in a road called Hoxton Square (Map).

Overall the area it’s in is very nice and quite, a place where you can sit down have a few drinks and chat and there’s hardly any traffic. The bar was split into two levels, down in the basement area was a bar and stage. Then upstairs was a Bar and outside seating. Anyway my friend Alex and her friend Talya where doing some dancing while one of the bands called Lillian Gish where performing. Talya was doing belly dancing at first, then Alex came on doing some rather relieving  Burlesque dancing.
Basically she started of with a bunch of flower’s, handed them out, then took of her gloves and shoes. She then got a few people to undo some straps holding her tights up, and then simply removed the corset. Then ended up waving nipple tassels around.  Overall it was very tasteful, and she kept her dignity as such. As she was very worried they might fall off or something would go wrong etc. I am really surprised she did this. However according to a few of her friends she used to do this before as well. Anyway to finish the event both Alex and Talya ended with a fan dance, which i thought was rather elegant. Overall the evening was fun and enjoyable and i think Alex had a crazy amount of fun, i think to the point where she wanted to do this again!. It was rather good, and i am surprised she had the courage to stand up there and do this! I am very proud of my friend Alex right now.

So today is Valentines Day. The day in which everyone express their love for each other by presenting flowers (Commonly Red Roses), offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards.

Well today i to went on a little mission of my own. Thing is there is this girl at work and she’s really nice and i basically like her to bits.
I had spent the day before looking for gift ideas, trying to figure out what i should get and so on. Basically to the point where my two other friends where like “Dan come on…… Hurry Up etc etc” Anyway i finally got it all sorted and had decided on the following:
A greeting card that said “To Someone Special – Happy Valentines” Then on the inside “Love you madly”
Then some Gift wrapped Thortons Chocolate selection set.

Sadly however she was working, so i decided to get the bus to work and surprise her. I arrived at work and she was busy working. So i stood in line at the checkout, holding my little gift back and an item i wanted to purchase. I then said Hey, this is for you. I then presented her with a bag. She then looked at it, and said “Awwww thanks Dan, No ones ever done that for me” So by the sounds of it no one had ever given her a Valentines before. Then i said “I came all this way just for you” and she said “Awwww thanks” I then said “Will see you in a week as i got time off, however you have my number”

So hopefully that all went very well
